Joe – Received an email from Section 8 saying Manhasset/CSH game changed to 730pm. Have not checked that with either school.
joe why didnt Longo the goalie play for somers???
Ripo – It was a coach’s decision.
Thanks, Taz. When I checked yesterday it was 7 p.m., so it must have been a late change.
Should be a great one. CSH will want to slow it down. Set will want to create transition opportunities. These teams have played some great games in the past and team that controls tempoi usually wins.
Of course they are very likely to meet again the playoffs and we all know how CSH has pulled off some big wins vs. Set in the post season in the past.
Those coaches decisions at Somers are the reason they are losing so bad. This is ridiculous. Not Head Coach Material!!!!
Is long in trouble? 26 saves in the jj game and he gets benched
Congrats to JoJo Marasco this week’s Con Ed student athlete of the week. Way to rep Somers kid!
Hey guys,
I just stuffed a bunch of scores in the body of this post. No real surprises, though Greenwich got a serious scare.
‘CUSE
Manhasset 12 – CSH 3
A beating. English scores only 2 and it didn’t matter. I think at least 9 guys scored for Manhasset. Hanley, goalie for CSH, made some good saves in 1st qtr. to keep them in it.
WOW. I did not see that score coming.
